Castle Street and the area facing this building have a bad reputation and for good reason.
That being said It’s all being gentrified with student acom so I wouldn’t be surprised if this changed in the next 10 years.
Proximity to castle street and a main road. Pretty sure someone died in that building in suspicious circumstances as well.
High crime area.
Dodgy area. Not great during daylight and a no go area at night. Building is basically all immigrants now. I’d not be surprised if the landlord is Ukrainian seeking some of the tax free earnings.
For 120k you can get a 2 bedroom house just outside the city and have a much better time. The city centre is almost a no go zone now a days anyway.
A lot of the apartments are scruffy and degraded. I viewed a place in there and it was shabby. Needed renovations, which would cost money.
check ground rent, and check service charges for living in a building like that beyond rates
If you are a 10th Dan in Karate, own a stab/bullet proof vest, carry two personal guns, say 9mm/MP5, couple of smoke grenades & drive a tank you could MAYBE live there, you can MAYBE even Charles Bronson, Death Wish, it, make it a tidy spot for all.
But if it’s a none of the above, I’d give it a wee miss, because as the light breaks over Belfast it’s like a scene from the Walking Dead around here, climbing/appearing out of doorways, bins, entries & even bushes 🤣🤣
It’s £120 for a two bedroom flat in a dodgy area. You can get houses in better areas for that price.
120k is probably the starting bait price, on the hope you’ll enquire about it.
Someones been trying to sell a job lot of 15 apartments @£115k across the road for over a year and no one is biting.
